I have an azure functions app running on python@3.11
I need to use requests module, so at the top of the .py file I've added 'import requests'. I've also added requests to requirements.txt.
I have CI/CD configured with GitHub Actions. The yml is attached.
My understanding is MS should install the reqs in requirements.txt and make them available however, when I add import requests to the py file. No functions show in the azure portal. If I remoe the import then the functions are again visible.
Is it possible that the packages are being loaded but when the python function app starts it's starting from a different bin and as a result no packages are present? Or am I missing a step/approach with my yaml?
How should I correctly load the requirements.txt? is my flow correct?

You can refer this example. In short, You don't need to create virtual environment & install packages. You can use --target option of pip install to install the packages on a specific location(.python_packages/lib/site-packages) for the function visibility.
- name: 'Resolve Project Dependencies Using Pip'
shell: bash
run: |
pushd './${{ env.AZURE_FUNCTIONAPP_PACKAGE_PATH }}'
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
pip install -r requirements.txt --target=".python_packages/lib/site-packages"
popd
It's also worth noting that you will need to change your zip script to ensure that it includes hidden directories.
- name: Zip artifact for deployment
run: zip -r release.zip . -x "venv/*" ".git/*" ".github/*" ".gitignore"
